PMC is a fun and simple way to create your very own fine silver jewelry, small sculpture and of course BEADS! Just mold like normal clay, allow to air dry and fire in a kiln. The binder burns away, leaving you with a beautiful piece of fine silver jewelry. Use PMC molding mats or create your own intricate patterns, the natural shrinkage from firing results in patterns appearing even more intricate than they originally were. Original PMC needs a high firing temperature and has a 28% shrinkage and is the most affordable of the clays. PMC+ has a 12-15% shrinkage. PMC3 also has a 12-15% shrinkage and can be fired using just a torch, but is the most dense. All the clays can be re-hydrated before firing so waste is of little concern. Be sure to pick up a Book or DVD for some great ideas and instruction.

Also known as "slip", this highly versatile form of PMC3 is the consistency of white glue. This paste is most often applied with a paint brush. It can be used as a type of glue to bond individual PMC pieces together after the drying (not firing) process. This paste can be used to fill in cracks and smooth out edges. It can painted onto organic materials such as leaves and flowers, to perfectly duplicate the shape and texture of the object. The organic material can then be burned away during firing, leaving behind only a perfect silver form of the object. Try painting this PMC paste onto origami figures, they come out perfect! The same method can be applied to create hollow forms.
